Installing Azure SDK on Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 - azure

I am currently setting up a development VPC to test some new technology. I have installed VS 2010 Beta 2.
I now want to install the Azure development tools. The latest download that I have been able to find is the July CTP. This is suposed to work with Beta 1.
I get the following error message:
Visual Studio 2008 is currently installed but this product requires Service Pack 1. Please install SP1 and try again.
Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 requires the Visual Web Developer feature to be installed in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (Standard or above).
Am I missing something or is it not possible to install it on Beta 2?

AFAIK Windows Azure Tools only supports VS 2010 Beta 1. I expect a new version with support for Beta 2 pretty soon though (at least when the PDC comes around.)

Team,
I am a beginner in Azure. I have a task to upgrade the Azure SDK from 2.1 to the latest version available. The Azure project is housed under a MVC 4.0 solution and is currently using VS 2012.
Is it mandatory to use VS 2017 professional/Enterprise edition to work further on the project.
Can i still have VS 2012 and upgrade to the lastest Azure SDK version. How to go about it ?

Can i still have VS 2012 and upgrade to the lastest Azure SDK version. How to go about it ?
The short answer is no. We could get the answer from this link.
We could know that VS 2015+ is required to install the Azure SDK 3.0

Azure tools v 2.6 incompatibility with vs 2015

Just updated visual studio 2015, and I have a solution that has an API using azure tools v2.6, the update for visual studio had me install v2.7 azure tools.
I cannot convert the outdated project to v2.7 as it is asking me to, and 2.6 is not compatible with vs 2015. I need to access this project and continue working on it.
Anyone have this issue? Know of any work arounds?
Exact alert message:
This project is associated with Microsoft Azure Tools - v2.6 which is not supported in Visual Studio 2015. You must upgrade the project to target Microsoft Azure Tools -v2.7.
Download Microsoft Azure Tools -v2.7(already done)
Convert the project to target Microsoft Azure Tools -v2.7 (I can't, it is in production, and i don't have rights to do so)
Try this - If you still have access to VS 2013, install the 2.7 SDK for 2013, upgrade the project in 2013 and then try opening in 2015 w/ 2.7.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 new mobile phone project

I'm new in Visual Studio. Installed Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 (Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL).
Need to create windows mobile 6.5 application. When I go to File > New > Project I cannot find Windows Mobile in the list of templates. I tried installing Windows Mobile 6.5 Development Tool Kit still doesn't show up. Any ideas?
Yes, you need either Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 and better than the Express edition.
Then you need to install the Windows Mobile 6 SDK or the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK.
In Visual Studio 2005/2008 you will see SmartDevice in the list of Project Templates when you start a new project.
A trial of VS2008 can be downloaded at http://downloadfreesoftwaresforpc.blogspot.de/2012/05/visual-studio-2008-professional-edition.html (http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/1/d/81d3f35e-fa03-485b-953b-ff952e402520/VS2008ProEdition90dayTrialENUX1435622.iso)
You can upgrade the trial following MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc442563%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
You'll need a copy of Visual Studio 2008 to do development for Windows Mobile\Windows Embedded Handheld. Visual Studio 2010 and later only support the new "Windows Phone" OS.

Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Core requires the Visual Web Developer feature to be installed in Visual Studio 2012

i'm trying to install WindowsAzureTools.vs110.exe on mu Windows 7 PC. I have Visual studio 2012 Ultimate installed. The installation of WindowsAzureTools.vs110.exe ends with fatal error: Fatal Error 0x80070643. In the log file there is nothing interesting, but in the event log there is error:

(Professional or above).
can somebody help what I'm missing?
I have installed full version of VS2012 with all components.
thanks
Could you try installing the full package for Visual Studio instead? Link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=254364&clcid=0x409
And for the manual installation you have to know that there are 2 download pages, maybe you downloaded it from the wrong page:
Windows Azure SDK for .NET - June 2012 -> You need this one if you use VS2012 RC
Windows Azure SDK for .NET - June 2012 SP1 -> You need this one if you use VS2012 RTM

Does Visual Studio 2012 include the full Windows SDK

If I've installed the Visual Studio 2012, do I need to install the Windows SDK, or are all tools / parts of the SDK included as part of the Visual Studio installation.
The visual studio 2012 installer does not contain the full Windows SDK or Visual Studio 2012 SDK. these need to be installed separately.
Depends on which version of VS 2012 you have installed. Professional version and above include the Windows 8 SDK, so unless you are planning to develop applications for Windows XP or earlier versions of the OS, there is no need to install the SDK separately - you would already have it.
However, if you have installed VS 2012 Express, I would suggest referring to on-line documentation for clarification on this issue.
See this post for more information:

"The DirectX SDK is now part of the Windows 8.0 SDK."
"The Windows SDK for Windows 8 (aka Windows 8.0 SDK) is included with Visual Studio 2012, and is also available as a standalone package for use with Visual Studio 2010."
